Night Shift

Night Shift

Since I am awake at 4am I thought I'd start this thread for those of us who have trouble sleeping and might find it helpful to have a place to go to chat. Whatever gets you through the night is alright.

To get the ball rolling, I'll just say that I enjoyed being part of the Topic Tuesday discussion tonight. I wish it was possible for these events to be weekly rather than monthly. Either way, thanks SANE and all the people I've met on here over recent months.

Edited June 2016 and February 2017: Night Shift is now open 24 hours a day. To join in, just click through to the last page of the thread at the top right of this post to get to the latest message.

Edited April 2017 and June 2017: For the sake of better communications between members here, I am adding that this thread is meant to be a caring, kind and gentle place of sharing. Humour is welcome, as long as its not unkindly directed towards other members. Hope your time in this chat thread is rewarding.

@comet No I don't support the demons. I'm a feeling a bit unsure about disclosing who I support. I have my reasons. I hope you don't mind.

how old is comet the cat?

Re: Night Shift

@comet I should add I think some breeds of dogs cope better than others being in a yard. Lap dog breeds don't seem to need as much exercise but lots of cuddles with their owners. I find it hard when you have an active breed locked up with no stimulation or exercise.

@Former-Member. Lol. That's OK.......I guess I can tell you.........he's 7. I think, but am not quite certain, that he was born on the same day as my daughter.....& sorry for the earlier lol.Nothing meant by it....what are you doing tomorrow? Quiet day at home?

Re: Night Shift

It's ok @comet for you to laugh at my silly quirks. I know it's a bit absurd. Here's me digging myself into a hole. If I disclosed the reason for not mentioning it Id probably have defeated the purpose of not naming it if that makes any sense what so ever.

One of the dogs I left behind at the end of my relationship was born on the same day as the son I got her for. It always meant a lot to him. Glad you have quite a few more years with comet then. My dog is 3 so still very active. We think he is a kelpie x border collie, he's quite smart. I feel quite guilty when he hasn't had a good walk everyday. I don't ever have to have him on a lead so he walks/runs thirty times the distance I do😊. He comes when called and heels on demand so I rarely need to put a lead on him.

Tomorrow i am hoping to get my son and I to sort some stuff out here, move furniture and sort more stuff out. I really totally have struggled after breaking down last week. I need to try and start my life here, it hasn't gone so well yet.

What do you have planned for tomorrow?

Re: Night Shift

Oh @Former-Member. I am sorry! I wasn't laughing at your so -called quirks....the last thing I want to do is hurt your feelings.. I promise. Am just in a particularly jovial mood. Please don't be upset! & it wasn't even a lol. Sorry!!!

Re: Night Shift

@comet Please know I have a self deprecating sense of humour. I rarely take offence. It takes something big to do that. I'm really sensitive but not so much when it comes to humour. I take criticism from those I know and trust well but struggle with criticism form anyone outside that. I've never seen you criticise me. So please don't worry about it. It's all good😊💜

Re: Night Shift

PS @comet. I did see your sense of humour in the last post but wasn't witty enough for a worthy response. ( the lol one)
